Princess Tuzhen carefully observed the deployment of troops and the layout of the archery holes on the Nantian Fort, beckoned to a little marshal, and when he came over, she ordered: "Send a ten-captain to lead his soldiers to rush up, and rush under the fortress wall in one breath!" ”

"Yes, princess!" Xiao Shuai agreed, and immediately assigned a team of soldiers to rush to Nantian Castle.

Ten Rouran soldiers jumped off their horses, each with a small leather shield in his left hand in front of him, and a scimitar in his right hand in front of him, and they came to the bottom of the hill, and rushed in a line, led by the Captain of Ten, from the only path in the middle.

Although the ice and snow on the hillside had been cleared, the only path in the middle was all mud, and these Rouran soldiers could not rush up the hill in one go.

They only rushed for more than ten meters before they turned around and ran back, and the first ten captains slipped and fell on their feet, and the whole person rolled down, knocking over three people in a row, two of them scraped into the thorn bushes next to the path, and their clothes were torn, revealing a blur of flesh and blood.

Princess Tuzhen's face was a little unsightly, and she waved her hand and ordered to the little marshal just now: "Change a team!" ”

Ten more men were sent out, and they jumped off their horses, holding small leather shields in front of them, and machetes in their right hands, and slowly climbed up the hill in turn.

They didn't think that the previous group of people kept running and rushing up, and they couldn't rush up the hill when the road was slippery, but they were very tolerant of going up the hill step by step.

By the time they had climbed to the middle, the defenders on the Nantian Fort were starting to react.

Hua Mulan asked a soldier beside her, "Do you see the Rouran soldier in the lead?" Can you shoot him in the thigh? ”

The small leather shield held by the Rouran people is cavalry equipment, which can only block most of the upper body, which is relatively practical on horseback, but it is too small for infantry cover, and it can't cover too many parts, at least from the waist down.

"It's a bit far away, only seventy percent sure!"

Hua Mulan disagreed: "It's okay, you give it a try!" ”

The soldier agreed, took an arrow and put it on the bowstring, aimed at the thigh of the leader below, and shot it three seconds later.

With a "whoosh", the arrow hits the target's groin.

"Ahh

In front of the Rouran cavalry formation under the hill, the wrinkles on the old face of the old man became deeper, and his brows were squeezed together, "Tuzhen, it seems that you can't do this way, you can't test the reality of the other party, the other party only needs one person and a bow to block the 100,000 army in front of this hillside!" ”

Princess Tuzhen's eyebrows raised: "Any defensive fortress is flawed, it can't be seamless, it's just that we haven't discovered it yet!" ”

At this time, there was a cow cry from the rear of the cavalry formation: "Moo-"

Princess Tuzhen couldn't help but look back at the rear, where the cattle and sheep they had brought with the army appeared behind, looking for grass in the melting snow and ice.

Princess Tuzhen's eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered: "Come on, go and bring a cow over!" ”

A cavalryman drove a cow to the front of the army, and Princess Tuzhen stretched out her hand to draw her sword, and with a swoop pulled out her scimitar and struck her horse at the buttocks of the ox.

The blood flashed, and the cut cow let out a roar, his eyes were red, and he spread his hooves and rushed forward frantically.

When she saw it, she immediately understood Princess Tuzhen's intentions, and she wanted to use her livestock to explore the way on the hillside.

Both of them were full of anticipation, if this method was feasible, as long as they drove twenty or thirty oxen and did not destroy all the dense wooden stakes and dense thorns on this hillside?

But what happened next was a great disappointment to all the Rouran people here, and the ox turned down the hill after rushing forward for some distance, and after a short time it stopped, only panting, and the wound on the rump was still bleeding.

"This ······ How so? He and Shelun looked at each other, and their hearts were full of doubts, wondering why the cow didn't rush up the hill after going berserk, but stopped after turning at the foot of the hillside.

Hua Mulan on the Nantian Fort just now saw that the Rouran people wanted to use their cattle to destroy the traps, stake barbs and thorns on the hillside, and she pinched her heart, lest the Rouran people's treacherous plan succeed, and now she was relieved to see that the cow did not rush up the hillside because of the pain, and the others also secretly put their hearts back in their stomachs.

Princess Tuzhen was also quite surprised and surprised when she saw this scene, her eyebrows frowned, she thought for a moment, and ordered again: "Come on, bring another cow!" ”

Someone next to him did as he said, and then brought a cow, this time the princess Tuzhen ordered someone to bring a red flag, and tied the red flag forward on the back of the cow, and after the flagpole was tied, the red flag hung down in front of the cow's head, and the cow saw a touch of red in front of him, and immediately went crazy, spreading his hooves and rushing towards the red.

But the red flag was tied to the back of the ox, and no matter how madly the cow pursued, it could not hit it, and this time the ox rushed forward vigorously, regardless of what was in front of it, and kept rushing towards the hillside.

The spikes of the dense stakes on the hillside were tripped up, and a great deal of thorns were lifted by the mad oxen, and it rushed a third of the way up the hillside, and fell headlong into a camouflaged trap, and was pierced through the belly by the spikes in the pit, and lay in the pit howling incessantly, and soon died, and finally died silently.

"It turns out that there are trap pits on the hillside, but fortunately the warriors were not rushed to explore the way!" She Lun said with palpitations.

But he said, "So it seems useful to use this method!" Tuzhen, my daughter, it seems that you will be able to break through the Nantian Fort today! ”

Princess Tuzhen couldn't deny it, waved her hand and shouted: "Come on, bring twenty cows, and tie the red flag on their backs according to the method just now of this princess!" ”

Her orders were carried out to the letter, and twenty oxen were led to stand side by side, red flags tied to their backs, and a mace tied to the back of each cow.

When everything was ready, the soldiers lowered the red banner together, and the flag hung in front of the bull's eye, and the oxen saw the red in an instant and rushed forward in a frenzy.

The scene of twenty oxen running wildly ran with the momentum of thousands of horses, the ground was faintly shaking, the hooves of the oxen were kicking on the ground, a puff of snow and mud splashed everywhere, and grass clippings were flying.

These frenzied oxen rushed up the hillside, and they went on without fear, without timidity, only with rage, and they knocked down many of the stake spikes, and the mace they dragged carried carried like a plough to carry all the stake spikes that passed along the way, and scraped away the thorns.

"Boom, boom, boom······" A mad-haired cow fell into the trap one after the other, destroying the small traps and filling up the big ones.

Seeing this scene, Tuzhen smiled at the corner of his mouth and waved his hand: "Bring in twenty more cows!" ”

Seeing this scene, Hua Mulan on the Nantian Fort showed a gloomy look in her eyes, she didn't expect that the defensive belt she had spent nearly a month carefully arranging would be destroyed by the Rouran people like this.

Mulan took a deep breath, knowing full well that she couldn't show decadent emotions, which would likely affect the leaders and soldiers under her command.

"Brethren, the Rourans have destroyed our hillside defenses in this way, and now they will soon be besieging us in droves! Raise the fire, boil the hot oil, boil the water, and prepare to fight to the death with the Rourans! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers stood up and shouted, and one by one began to make the final preparations before the battle.

Hua Mulan is not worried that the Rouran people can destroy the fortress gate in a short time, the fortress gate is made of a large stone slab half a foot thick, even if she has peerless divine power, she is afraid that she will not be able to break it.

She was even less worried that the Rouran people would get in from the archery holes on the second and third floors, not to mention that there were archers in each archery hole, even if the archers in the archery holes were shot by the Rouran people outside, the archery holes were too small to allow a single person to get in.

The only way for the Rourans to breach the fortress was to climb to the top of the fort and fight her and her men, who could not take the fortress unless they killed her and her men.

Under the command of Princess Tuzhen, a large number of Rouran soldiers dismounted, holding a small leather shield in one hand and a scimitar in the other, and climbed to the hillside.

Hua Mulan saw that the Rouran people entered the range of the bow and arrow, and immediately ordered: "Everyone is free to shoot arrows, shoot as many as they can, pay attention to concealment, hide immediately after shooting an arrow, don't be stupid to stand in place and be a target for the Rouran people!" ”

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh ······"

Arrows continued to shoot out from the Nantian Fort, and one after another, the Rouran soldiers who were climbing on the hillside were shot down and rolled down, but the Rouran soldiers behind were as if they didn't see it at all, and they didn't know how to be afraid, so they still surrounded the fortress on the hill without stopping.

"Whoosh ······" Some of the Rouran archers hid behind the sword and shield soldiers, and some followed the team and began to fire arrows at Mulan and the others in the fort.

A soldier was shot through the throat next to Mulan, Mulan helped him to sit on the ground slowly, he wanted to speak but couldn't, Mulan watched him slowly close his eyes.

"Kill, kill me!" Mulan shouted and kept firing her bow and arrows, and one by one the Rouran soldiers were shot by her.

A large number of Rouran soldiers poured under the fort wall, and Mulan shouted when she saw this: "Pour fire oil on me!" ”

The Wei soldiers poured a scoop of black smoke of fire oil under the fort, and the Rouran soldiers who were drenched in fire oil screamed one by one: "Ah-"

Someone was splashed in the face, and in the eyes, he was so burned that he covered his face and kept rolling on the ground.

The wounded soldiers of Rouran were carried down the mountain by their companions, and the dead were left unattended, and the Rouran people in the back continued to pour towards the Nantian Castle.

The oil on the top of the fort was quickly drenched, and Mulan shouted, "Quickly pour boiling water and scald them to death!" ”
